SQL Injection in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-59834)

Summary

SQL injection in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel (CVE-2026-59834). Confidential information can be exposed externally. Exploitable via POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock. Mitigation: upgrade to 0.0.0-20260704035518-d0f0fe146fb0 or later.

Original description

The description as published by the source.

Summary

Siyuan's block search endpoint concatenates attacker-controlled paths[] values into SQL predicates used by non-SQL search modes. Through Siyuan's publish service, an unauthenticated visitor is forwarded to the kernel with a reader-role token and can reach POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock.

An attacker can inject a UNION SELECT through paths[] and return rows from hidden documents while projecting an allowed visible box and path. The post-query publish access filter trusts the projected box and path, so the injected hidden row is returned to the publish visitor.

Affected Code

The API blocks explicit SQL search mode for non-admin users, but allows other search methods to use caller-controlled paths:

if method == 2 && !model.IsAdminRoleContext(c) {
    ret.Code = -1
    ret.Msg = "SQL search requires administrator privileges"
    return
}

blocks, matchedBlockCount, matchedRootCount, pageCount, docMode := model.FullTextSearchBlock(query, boxes, paths, types, method, orderBy, groupBy, page, pageSize)
if model.IsReadOnlyRoleContext(c) {
    publishAccess := model.GetPublishAccess()
    blocks = model.FilterBlocksByPublishAccess(c, publishAccess, blocks)
}

Source: input/siyuan/kernel/api/search.go

paths[] is parsed into notebook IDs and paths without SQL escaping or validation:

path := p.(string)
box := strings.TrimSpace(strings.Split(path, "/")[0])
if "" != box {
    boxes = append(boxes, box)
}
path = strings.TrimSpace(…

❓ What is the problem

SQL injection (CWE-89) exists in github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attackers reach the vulnerable code path via POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock without authentication.

📍 Affected scope

Check the vendor advisory for the affected versions of github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel. Attack surface: POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock / POST /api/filetree/setPublishAccess / POST /api/setting/setPublish / box.

🔥 Severity

Severity: High (CVSS 7.5/10). Confidential information can be exposed externally.

🔧 How to fix

Update to 0.0.0-20260704035518-d0f0fe146fb0.

🛡️ Workaround

Until the patch is applied: disable the affected feature, apply WAF rules, or restrict access via network ACLs.

🔍 Detection

Search webserver/proxy logs for unusual POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock requests with malformed payloads or SQL meta-characters. Run grep -r 'github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel' . against your dependency files (package-lock.json, requirements.txt, go.sum) to find affected services.

Response actions

Concrete steps and command examples for SOC/SRE teams to execute in order

  1. 1
    Identify exposure identify
    grep -r 'github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel' . | grep -v node_modules

    リポジトリと本番環境の依存ファイル (package-lock.json / requirements.txt / go.sum / Gemfile.lock 等) で github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel を grep し、稼働しているサービス・バージョンを把握する。

  2. 2
    Hunt for indicators of compromise detect
    grep 'POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock' /var/log/nginx/access.log | grep -E '(unusual_payload|sqli_pattern)'

    アクセスログで POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock への異常なリクエスト (不正な認証ヘッダ・SQLメタ文字)を過去 30〜90日分捜索。WAF/SIEM があれば該当パスのアラート発火履歴を確認。

  3. 3
    Apply patch patch
    Upgrade github.com/siyuan-note/siyuan/kernel to 0.0.0-20260704035518-d0f0fe146fb0

    ステージング環境で 0.0.0-20260704035518-d0f0fe146fb0 に上げて回帰テスト → 本番反映。回帰テストはアプリの主要ハッピーパスと、Step 2 で見つけた異常検知の続報チェックを含めること。

  4. 4
    Post-deployment verification verify
    Replay attack against POST /api/search/fullTextSearchBlock on staging to confirm patch closes the vector

    パッチ適用後、ステージングで PoC または同等の悪用パターンを再現して脆弱性が閉じたことを確認。本番では Step 2 と同じログクエリでアラート再発が無いか継続監視。
